Discussion about Intel CPUs and overclocking. Need help with that new Intel processor? Not sure which one is right for you? Like to void your warranty? This is the place for you! Please keep the topic on Intel Processors!

Picked up one for a build this weekend and one for another forum member and they are both running 4.0GHz at 1.28v. I'm extremely impressed with the performance and the temps are extremely good. With a Thermalright Ultra Extreme and Scythe S-Flex (model F) fan load temps in Orthos/Prime 95 have yet to break 53c!!
These things make great folders too...in Win SMP it's just a touch over 9min per percent which is solidly in quad core territory, the QX9770 at 3.8GHz is just 2min faster.

You can't really say which would win out with a 3.4Ghz conroe vs a 3Ghz wolfdale, as the wolfdale can be overclocked to match the conroe speeds with ease, negating the mhz difference and taking it back to architectural improvements as shown above.

awesome thanks Dan
The phenom was tested as a dual core? So what about at 4 cores? Anyone know the difference in a program that uses all 4? And so far seems the wolfdale is winning. But, the phenom seems pretty decent.
